The Body Project Online Training: Gold-Standard Eating Disorder Prevention and Body Image

EVERYBODY Consulting

About this event

The Body Project is one of only two programs in the world proven to prevent eating disorders. No other body image program has this level of independent research behind it.

This training will prepare you to deliver the program with confidence. It is interactive and practical, not a passive webinar. You'll learn in a small group (max 12 people) with Professor Phillippa Diedrichs, a world-leading body image and prevention researcher, Fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders, and award-winning educator, author and speaker. Professor Diedrichs has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and was trained by The Body Project's original creators, Drs Eric Stice and Carolyn Becker. She has also led international research trials on its effectiveness. This is a chance to learn from someone at the forefront of evidence-based body image and prevention programming.

You'll complete a self-paced module and attend live Zoom sessions where you'll practice facilitating and receive direct feedback. By the end, you'll be equipped to facilitate Body Project sessions in your community, delivering a programme shown to reduce body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and low mood for years after participation.

The training also includes 12 months of ongoing support: programme manuals, recruitment templates, tools to measure your impact, a private online community, and invitations to follow-on expert webinars.

Feedback from recent trainees:

"This is the only training in my life where I feel able and qualified to apply my new learning directly in my community in such a short timespan. It's very empowering!" 

"The Body Project with EVERYBODY is the best training I have participated in over my 20-year career as a social worker. Not only did Phillippa create a warm and safe space to connect with others worldwide, she really brought the material to life in practical ways. I would highly recommend this training for anyone working with young people who express body dissatisfaction."

"Before I trained in The Body Project with EVERYBODY, I was moving from one course to the next. Since completing the training, I feel I can actually deliver what I know to my community. I'm getting out of the theory and into the practice… The framework is excellent, and you'll feel more confident that what you deliver will actually make a difference."

About The Body Project

The Body Project is a group programme for teenagers and young adults. It runs over four one-hour sessions and can be delivered in schools, universities, or community settings. Developed at Stanford University and Trinity University, it has now reached over 4.5 million people in 136 countries.

The programme works through cognitive dissonance. Participants challenge unrealistic appearance ideals through discussions, role plays, and exercises. Because they take an active role rather than simply listening, they shift their own beliefs and behaviours. This is far more effective than traditional education or awareness campaigns.

Research published in leading journals shows participants experience lasting reductions in body dissatisfaction, negative mood, dieting, and disordered eating, with benefits maintained for up to three years.

The Body Project is one of only two programmes proven to prevent eating disorders from developing, not just reduce risk. And it can be delivered by a wide range of people, including teachers, nurses, counsellors, and youth workers, after just one to two days of training.
